GREAT MOMENT: Drogba takes selfie with Kylian Mbappe at Ballon d’Or 2019 – 10 years after he was asked to

During the Ballon d’Or 2019 ceremony on Monday Didier Drogba revealed that a young Kylian Mbappe asked him for a photo at Stamford Bridge back in 2009.

However, the Ivorian was in no mood for photos as the Blues had just been beaten on aggregate by Barcelona in a controversial Champions League semi-final marred by referee mistakes.

Drogba, who was hosting the awards show, said: “Ten years ago after a match, a child came to me and wanted to take a picture.

“That day I said no because of the result [and the refereeing].

I learned that the child was Kylian Mbappe. I want to pay my debt now.”

The Chelsea icon then proceeded to ask everyone in attendance to stand up and snapped a picture with the Paris Saint-Germain prodigy.

Mbappe was on trial at Chelsea when he was 10 years old, playing in just one game, and his Stamford Bridge spell lasted about a week.
